The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany is a seminal work of high fantasy, blending lyrical prose with a timeless tale of love, magic, and the clash between the mortal world and the realm of enchantment.The story begins in the land of Erl, where the council of elders asks their ruler to bring magic into their land to make their kingdom immortal in memory. In response, the lord of Erl sends his son, Alveric, on a quest to the magical land of Elfland to win the hand of Lirazel, the daughter of the King of Elfland. Alveric succeeds in his mission, marrying Lirazel and bringing her back to the mortal world.
